What do Compliance-Ready-Macs include?

Below are some of the items we include in our offering to be 'Compliance Ready'. This will go towards satisfying HIPAA requirements, NIST-800 standards, and the majority of SOC and ISO27001 standards. Both SOC and ISO require additional controls and procedures

  1. Enable Full Disk Encryption (FDE): You can use Apple's built-in FileVault to enable FDE on all MacBooks using Addigy. This will encrypt the entire hard drive, including the operating system and all user data. You should also configure a secure password and enable automatic logout when the MacBook is inactive via Addigy if possible
  2. Install a Firewall: macOS comes with a built-in firewall that you can enable in System Preferences. Configure the firewall in Addigy to allow only necessary inbound and outbound traffic, and periodically review your firewall logs for suspicious activity.
  3. Install Anti-virus and Anti-malware software: macOS has some built-in protections against malware, but you can also install third-party antivirus and anti-malware software to detect and remove threats. Some popular options include Malwarebytes ( I see that Addigy has an integration, there may be a charge). We have to keep antivirus and anti-malware software up-to-date and run regular scans to detect and remove any threats.
  4. Use strong passwords: We can use macOS's built-in password manager to generate and store strong passwords. Alternatively, you can use Addigy's third-party password manager. Make sure your passwords are at least 12 characters long and use a combination of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using dictionary words, personal information, or patterns.
  5. Enable two-factor authentication: You can use Apple's built-in two-factor authentication (2FA) or third-party in Addigy. 2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second factor, such as a code sent to your phone or generated by an app, in addition to your password.
  6. Install software updates: We are required to regularly install software updates to keep MacBook's operating system and applications up-to-date and secure. macOS updates are available in the App Store, and we should also update using Addigy regularly.
  7. Train employees: It is important to provide training to anyone who uses your MacBook to ensure they understand HIPAA regulations and the importance of maintaining the security and privacy of protected health information. Training should cover topics such as data handling, password security, and incident reporting. You should also periodically review and update your policies and procedures to ensure compliance with HIPAA regulations.
